Understanding Wellbeing Module
This HEAR Accredited module guides you to discover and better understand the crucial concept of wellbeing, exploring it from many different disciplinary viewpoints (from Biology to Philosophy, from Economics to the Arts). We also engage in activities and strategies that can improve our wellbeing, from physical exercise and art to mindfulness and many others. And, we look at what factors might be affecting our wellbeing, from social media, emotions, to dealing with failure. The module has been co-created by IATL staff and students to make sure that it can be accessible to all and work around University life. You can find out more here.
